Many a star has changed their given name for fame (Jamie Foxx — or, should I say, Eric Bishop?). Some make a habit of it once they’ve hit it big (here’s lookin’ at you, Sean Combs, Puff Daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy, Diddy, or whatever it is right now). And still others choose to change it in the name of tradition once they marry, though not all of them make it for public use. Still deciding what you should do? Look to see who made the legal leap before:
